=== Planet Karma === 9/10
This is a file of great epicness. I love the variation, i love the layering choices, the arrow coloring, the difficulty, and the fact it always throws something at you that never makes you bored. A wonderful journey in the land of stepen manias. Score: 95.97%
[i wanna give you] devotion some retarded ****** mix 5/10 - 6.5/10
This song sounds like cancer, but as the stepfile goes it's alright. The easier chart simplifies too much in my opinion, and becomes very boring with the melody that keeps repeating over and over. The harder chart starts out way better but becomes boring through the song, with some questionable pattern choices. I may be biased because i really don't like this song but i would not play again. Score: 99.39% - 98.14%

Fantastic overall, very well balanced file. Accurately represents the song's musical structure while being pretty fun and challenging. The ending was a bit sudden, i wish it went on for a little more. Score: 96.39%

Really hard and really fun. The mines throw you offguard :P Score: 90.85%
Ultraviolent Junglist 7/10
Feels like maybe it drags for too long? There's so many places where you can screw up, scoring on this will be ridiculous. Had an unreal 1400 combo at the beginning, but this file is the first file in the pack that seriously made me sweat. Stepping wise it's awesome and very polished. Score: 92.71%
Tzuicha-cha 4/10 - 6/10
And after the first real stamina-drainer, here's the first disappointment. What is this? The notes are almost never straight 16ths, and some sounds are not accented as they should be. The harder chart somewhat masks this with some more aggressive jumpstream and layering, making it for a decent scoring file, but still. Score: 97.57% - 97.86%
Tranzport 9/10
Perfect. Nothing else to add. The freeze part was actually the only CB spot for me, lol. I love it though. Score: 97.36%
Transparent World 5/10 5/10 6/10 4/10 5/10 can't play edits/10
Beginner could use some vocal layering instead of endless blue notes, light has the uber annoying blue notes but as jumps, and some other sections which are pretty cheap. Standard has the really cheap on handed triplets and has the same boring jump parts exactly as light, but this time there's 8ths in between, making it a little smoother. Heavy doesn't really gives that feeling of simulation even though the arrows are on sync. Pattern choices are very questionable. What's your problem with these freeform streams? Oni is no much better than heavy, but at least adds a tad bit of difficulty... Can't play edit on this stepmania but i expect no better than jumps in the streams and all i have to say is no thanks. Score: quit out (on all of them...)

Snow Storm 5/10 - 6/10
Why would you ever make a keyboard chart with absolutely no jumps? The bpm changes are all nice except the awful speedup during the piano 48ths. That was uncalled for and really stupid. The heavy chart is decent except still kind of boring and empty (partially cause of the song) but it could also have used some better layering choices. Score: 99.25% - 98.92%
Sin 8/10
Very well done, but i personally think it could have been more complex (accenting some other sounds) without ruining its flow. A middle ground between puppet's and this would be perfect but PLEASE don't restep this anyone
Score: 96.74%
Seven 7/10 - 9/10 - 9/10
Really awesome energetic metal file. Oni is very accurately stepped, heavy still remains really awesome even with the reduced difficulty. Standard simplifies the melody too much, but it's still a great file for low-intermediate players. Only complaint is the 24ths are still there and are a pretty bad diff spike in here… Overall great work though! Heavy is definitely at least 12, not 11. Scores: 96.43% - 96,47% - 88.49%
Sane to More 7/10 - 9/10
What can i say? awesome solos~ Standard has the same "issue" as the above one, and has a pretty bad difficulty spike with all the 16th jumps, but it's not so important. Score: 98.00% - 97.15%
Salieri Strikes Back 10/10 - 11/10
Easily one of the most intense and well stepped files of the whole pack. Played heavy but it's a watered down version of oni and i prefer stepen 4 real men~ Score: 96.76% - 96.65%
Rip Roar Power 8/10
Tru painsteps. Can't accurately judge shit like this but it's well done and never TOO retarded. Score: 80.48%
Resurrected Replayer 6/10
This is definitely a nice chart, but for the whole time it feels it's not representing the song very well, whether it be a problem of patterns or layering choices. That jumpstream at the beginning detracts from the musical richness of the song, and during the quiet part i think the piano should have definitely been followed, feels very off without it. Score: 97.55%
Requiem for A Team 7/10
Really nice to play, but during the sped up 4ths jump section it's not TATATATATATA it's actually more complex than that and making it all jumps feels really shitty. The grace notes that aren't actually grace notes and are made like that just to have a different color are gayer than shit. I would appreciated it a lot more without these things. Score: 98.16%
Refeer Man 9/10 - 11/10
This is a masterpiece. There is so much to say and yet nothing encompasses it more than acknowledging this is a true work of art. Whoever made this, i think it's in the top 10 files i have ever played. Heavy is still pretty good with the mine usage and less jumps, but not as good as oni! Score: Quit out - 97.77%

Another really high quality file. Oni is obviously better with its full layering. Enjoyed it a lot. Score: 97.46% - 98.36%

It's somewhat accurately stepped, except the pitch relevancy on the 12th wubwub is off and becomes very annoying throughout the song. The ending jacky stream is so dumb, it could have used at least a bit more of variation. Nice file overall but these aspects really detract from it. Score: 91.44%

Finally some well done easy charts! I love them! They make complete sense and are done tastefully, so a beginner can learn on them without having some dumb difficulty spikes here and there. Actually, the easy charts are even better than the hard charts. Considering how the song plays, the heavy and oni chart are both pretty irksome… maybe a better pattern choice on the triplets could have helped? Score: 97.97% - 99.39% - 99.48% - 97.63% - 95.00%

Can solos ever become boring? On this file, they can. There's two giant solos and they sound very alike throughout. I do realize syncing them must have been hell but as for the gameplay goes i'm not too happy with this file, as it drags on for a lot and most patterns are very awkward to hit because of the irregular guitar notes. Score: 96.14%

Light is not a 6 :P at least an 8, and has some pretty bad difficulty spikes for a beginner player, although correctly stepped. Standard is pretty good and much more balanced! heavy rules and makes the song much more interesting to play although the instruments aren't very complex here. Edit is probably some gay shit and this ITG/stepmania abomination i created cant play them, so pce out. Score: 99.48% - 99.24% - 98.01% - N%

I don't know if i'm too bad to play this file or this has some really gay patterns but i don't find it any fun. Good for scoring for sure and probably more double after a few tries, so i won't downvote it too much. Score: 92.13%

Gravestoned 7/10 - 5/10
This song seriously needed a fucking cut. It drags for too goddamn long. While the heavy difficulty is somewhat balanced out, Oni is just… UGH. No. had to quit out of both charts. Also what moches said about this is perfectly true, the stepping style is way too rigid and creates a really unfun chart. But you have potential and i'm sure you can make better shit naxt time man!

FFFFFF 8/10
The song isn't very interesting per se, but after halfway it gets much jazzier and becomes more fun to play, too. Maybe a long jumpstream isn't exactly the best choice to accent the sounds, especially the broken jumpstreams in the second half of the song, but still a really nice file. Score: 96.05%
Fatal Tragedy 9/10
At first i was like "wtf? another restep?" but turns out this is the best fatal tragedy of them all. At least i think it is, the others all have some very gay patterns in and out of the solo. Score: 97.36%
Fashion Queen 7/10
I'm not really sure about this. It's well stepped and has some cool funky moments but for the most part the song (it's not a stepping mistakes though) feels very empty and uninspired. The length did not help, either. If it was cut it could have easily been a 9. Score: 98.67%

h4h4 the mines at the end, pretty great file, only thing i dislike is the minijacks section around 40% where there is clearly a melody going on that doesn't sound like that. That part would have felt more natural that way. Also who needs NVLM when you have mi40? Score: 95.54%

Definitely a good file but i am biased because i played zanthro's file from back then and i think his captured the light feeling of the melody better.

Beginner could use some vocal layering instead of endless blue notes, light has the uber annoying blue notes but as jumps, and some other sections which are pretty cheap. Standard has the really cheap on handed triplets and has the same boring jump parts exactly as light, but this time there's 8ths in between, making it a little smoother. Heavy doesn't really gives that feeling of simulation even though the arrows are on sync. Pattern choices are very questionable. What's your problem with these freeform streams? Oni is no much better than heavy, but at least adds a tad bit of difficulty... Can't play edit on this stepmania but i expect no better than jumps in the streams and all i have to say is no thanks.

Snow Storm 5/10 - 6/10
Why would you ever make a keyboard chart with absolutely no jumps? The bpm changes are all nice except the awful speedup during the piano 48ths. That was uncalled for and really stupid. The heavy chart is decent except still kind of boring and empty (partially cause of the song) but it could also have used some better layering choices. Score: 99.25% - 98.92%
Sin 8/10
Very well done, but i personally think it could have been more complex (accenting some other sounds) without ruining its flow. A middle ground between puppet's and this would be perfect but PLEASE don't restep this anyone
Score: 96.74%Seven 7/10 - 9/10 - 9/10
Really awesome energetic metal file. Oni is very accurately stepped, heavy still remains really awesome even with the reduced difficulty. Standard simplifies the melody too much, but it's still a great file for low-intermediate players. Only complaint is the 24ths are still there and are a pretty bad diff spike in here… Overall great work though! Heavy is definitely at least 12, not 11. Scores: 96.43% - 96,47% - 88.49%
Sane to More 7/10 - 9/10
What can i say? awesome solos~ Standard has the same "issue" as the above one, and has a pretty bad difficulty spike with all the 16th jumps, but it's not so important. Score: 98.00% - 97.15%
Salieri Strikes Back 10/10 - 11/10
Easily one of the most intense and well stepped files of the whole pack. Played heavy but it's a watered down version of oni and i prefer stepen 4 real men~ Score: 96.76% - 96.65%
Rip Roar Power 8/10
Tru painsteps. Can't accurately judge shit like this but it's well done and never TOO retarded. Score: 80.48%
Resurrected Replayer 6/10
This is definitely a nice chart, but for the whole time it feels it's not representing the song very well, whether it be a problem of patterns or layering choices. That jumpstream at the beginning detracts from the musical richness of the song, and during the quiet part i think the piano should have definitely been followed, feels very off without it. Score: 97.55%
Requiem for A Team 7/10
Really nice to play, but during the sped up 4ths jump section it's not TATATATATATA it's actually more complex than that and making it all jumps feels really shitty. The grace notes that aren't actually grace notes and are made like that just to have a different color are gayer than shit. I would appreciated it a lot more without these things. Score: 98.16%
Refeer Man 9/10 - 11/10 This is a masterpiece. There is so much to say and yet nothing encompasses it more than acknowledging this is a true work of art. Whoever made this, i think it's in the top 10 files i have ever played. Heavy is still pretty good with the mine usage and less jumps, but not as good as oni! Score: Quit out - 97.77%
Red Nikita 8/10 - 9/10
Another really high quality file. Oni is obviously better with its full layering. Enjoyed it a lot. Score: 97.46% - 98.36%

Awesome file, awesome patterns even in the bursts. Great for scoring and chillin'. Score: 98.29%
Pop a Parade 8/10
This file is absolutely retarded, and i love it. Beginning is very sloppy but it takes off in the second half. Ending is gay. On average it's pretty good tho. The gfx makes me cry period blood. Not a 12 imo. Score: 95.40%

WHoa *****… Score: 94.65%
Plasmatextor 8/10
Beautiful, but the 48ths jacks really detract from it. They're much harder than anything else in the file. But they only come up so often. The rest is incredibly fun and very beautiful to play. Score: 95.77%
Parousia 9/10
Really beautiful file, intense buildup and climax towards the end. Hard but reasonably done even in the hardest burtsts. Had the AAA until 3/4 of the song… dang. Score: 94.96%

This song and chart pretty much delivers. Not a fan of the freeze part but that was done fairly well and the song didn't give many stepping choices anyway. Score: 98.89%

New Decade 7/10
This is pretty much a carbon copy of the above review for oni but it's the only chart and it's pretty good at following the song, it's just the song that it's pretty gay. Whenever that "boing" sample plays… ugh. Score: 94.62%
Narcolepsy 9/10
Very well structured file, really well done both technically and stylistically. Score: 98.58%

While some of the patterns are a bit forced, it's a very enjoyable and fun file. It was awesome to get one more file from you, Juan. Score: 98.27%

MarioSTEP 6/10
It's somewhat accurately stepped, except the pitch relevancy on the 12th wubwub is off and becomes very annoying throughout the song. The ending jacky stream is so dumb, it could have used at least a bit more of variation. Nice file overall but these aspects really detract from it. Score: 91.44%
Lost not Forgotten 8/10
Awesome solos and stuff. Ending is a bit annoying with the jumps but i guess it's just how the song goes. Score: 97.75%

Laveran no Shokutaku 8/10 - 8/10 - 9/10 - 8/10 - 7/10
Finally some well done easy charts! I love them! They make complete sense and are done tastefully, so a beginner can learn on them without having some dumb difficulty spikes here and there. Actually, the easy charts are even better than the hard charts. Considering how the song plays, the heavy and oni chart are both pretty irksome… maybe a better pattern choice on the triplets could have helped? Score: 97.97% - 99.39% - 99.48% - 97.63% - 95.00%
Laste testament of twelfth mother 9/10
Kilsteps much? Really well done and interesting throughout file. Score: 97.92%
kona-yla-mina and a lot of other bullshit 7/10
If i wanted to play with flat, i would pick that modifier myself. File is pretty nice but that purple note syndrome really detracts from it instead of being an useful feature. Score: 98.04%
Jordan 8/10
The solos are pretty fun but i think it could have been synced with slight bpm changes instead of all these color notes? Solid file overall although some bursts are kind of annoying. Score: 94.01%
Jack-the-ripper 9/10
Really well done file with good usage of all chart elements, such as mines, holds and hands. Every segment accurately gives the feeling of playing the instruments of that specific part of the song without being redundant. Score: 96.32%
Insect Digestion Melancholy 10/10 This is a stepping masterpiece. Everything fit in perfectly even though the file has very abrupt streams and weird swings. Really, really awesome. Score: 97.84%
Innocent Walls 8/10
This is max a 14 :P and It's fairly well stepped considering the song! The jacks rape me but they are all reasonable and well placed. Score: 92.83%
In the name of Gosh 7/10
Can solos ever become boring? On this file, they can. There's two giant solos and they sound very alike throughout. I do realize syncing them must have been hell but as for the gameplay goes i'm not too happy with this file, as it drags on for a lot and most patterns are very awkward to hit because of the irregular guitar notes. Score: 96.14%
I'm on crack 0/10
Interesting… song choice? Can't take seriously any song with "******" in the lyrics, man. negative points for including that video. I hate background videos. Actually i think this rates eight out of ten
Score: 99.12%I'll rape you, you'll never rape me 8/10 - 9/10
I don't really undersand the need to have two charts that have slight stepping differences but oh well they're both good. My fav is the heavy chart. Score: 98.15% - 97.51%

Oh man, this is so fun, makes me want to sing along! also very nicely stepped
Score: 98.29%Howling 7/10 - 8/10 - 9/10 - N/10
Light is not a 6 :P at least an 8, and has some pretty bad difficulty spikes for a beginner player, although correctly stepped. Standard is pretty good and much more balanced! heavy rules and makes the song much more interesting to play although the instruments aren't very complex here. Edit is probably some gay shit and this ITG/stepmania abomination i created cant play them, so pce out. Score: 99.48% - 99.24% - 98.01% - N%
Haereticus 7/10
I don't know if i'm too bad to play this file or this has some really gay patterns but i don't find it any fun. Good for scoring for sure and probably more double after a few tries, so i won't downvote it too much. Score: 92.13%
Guile of the rime king 8/10
Pretty tricky mines, but well placed and done very effectively. I wish the song was shorter, it sounds all the same and after a while gets a bit boring. Would be a 9 otherwise. Score: 98.71%
Gravestoned 7/10 - 5/10
This song seriously needed a fucking cut. It drags for too goddamn long. While the heavy difficulty is somewhat balanced out, Oni is just… UGH. No. had to quit out of both charts. Also what moches said about this is perfectly true, the stepping style is way too rigid and creates a really unfun chart. But you have potential and i'm sure you can make better shit naxt time man! Drop the bottle, pick up the music!
Go! Go! maniac 10/10 Had lots of fun playing this! It's very well represented through the arrows and it overall rules (this incudes the song) Score: 98.47%

Five Regrets 9/10 - 9/10 - 9/10 - 10/10 You are starting to become one of my favorite step authors, mr. brenton mah. Flawless file, all the charts make perfect sense and are done very well. Heavy gets the best rating cause it's complete with full layering and very pleasant to play. Score: 99.44% - 99.82% - 99.68% - 98.37%
FFFFFF 8/10
The song isn't very interesting per se, but after halfway it gets much jazzier and becomes more fun to play, too. Maybe a long jumpstream isn't exactly the best choice to accent the sounds, especially the broken jumpstreams in the second half of the song, but still a really nice file. Score: 96.05%
Fatal Tragedy 9/10
At first i was like "wtf? another restep?" but turns out this is the best fatal tragedy of them all. At least i think it is, the others all have some very gay patterns in and out of the solo. Score: 97.36%
Fashion Queen 7/10
I'm not really sure about this. It's well stepped and has some cool funky moments but for the most part the song (it's not a stepping mistakes though) feels very empty and uninspired. The length did not help, either. If it was cut it could have easily been a 9. Score: 98.67%
Far East Nightbird 9/10
Don't think you can ever do better given this song. Some of the mines are really awful and i don't like how difficult it is to read the arrows there, but overall this file is really amazing. Score: 95.36%
Fallen World 9/10 - 10/10 Holy BALLS this file is dope! And it kicks (my) ass. Really wonderful take, extremely well crafted patterns for these melodies and speeds. Fantastic! Score: 95.61% - 91.65%
EOS 11/10 Maybe this file isn't all that special but i really fucking love anything about it, from the song to the steps. And for my level it's perfect as a scoring file. Score: 99.20% (after a few tries)
EndleSSStation 8/10
Does not seem like it is a 13, i would say a 12. Nicely put file but a bit repetitive considering the length. Challenging to the right degree and great patterns. Score: 98.73%
Empty Skydiving 2/10
No. What the hell? I haven't even counted how many minutes this is, but for sure it's TOO many. Ok the steps are good and all but goddamn i never want to play this file again. Wanted to quit at least 5 times and finished just for the sake of reviews. With a decent cut this would easily be around 8 /10, like this it's just endless dumpstream shit for god knows how many minutes. Score: 93.47%

Great climax and great usage of mines! Solid file
Score: 98.83%Earthquak 9/10
h4h4 the mines at the end, pretty great file, only thing i dislike is the minijacks section around 40% where there is clearly a melody going on that doesn't sound like that. That part would have felt more natural that way. Also who needs NVLM when you have mi40? Score: 95.54%
Don't Say Anything 8/10
Definitely a good file but i am biased because i played zanthro's file from back then and i think his captured the light feeling of the melody better. Maybe a mix between the two would have been optimal? I don't know. But this is for sure more accurate and still very well done. Maybe i'll just get used to it… Score: 95.79%

Demonish Animal Appearance 8/10 - 8/10
Hey i made these gfx a thousand years ago! and i think dondon let me test this file, but i didn't have it around anymore… Pretty good file. Heavy flows pretty well even though the structure is a bit rigid, same with oni but with a lot more jumps. Like this file a lot! Score: 98.17% - 96.98%
Cyberstorm 8/10
Well this file is fucking hell, and also fucking fun! Has got a lot of replay value and everything was done incredibly well for a file this hard. My respect goes to whoever made this chart. Score: 86.26%
Crack in the Hourglass 8/10 - 9/10
Really good file despite some pretty gay patterns here and there in the solos. Oni is overall harder and even the bad patterns feel they belong more. Well crafted file which is a real pleasure to play. Score: 98.37% - 97.20%

Well done overall but the bursts are ver gay and there's nothing we can do about it. I don't think this is a very fun file even for advanced players? Score: 94.05%

Standard is a pretty good chart, heavy could actually be the best of the three in terms of playability, but of course oni is much more accurate. They all excel in something. Oni is also BURRRRSSSSTSS. Score: 99.58% - 98.38% - 96.99%
Chaotic White 8/10
This was… beautiful. Very awesome jack theory and song. Maybe some section would have played better if they also followed the piano melody a bit instead of keep jacking. Also i realize the song sounds like this but i hate grace notes placed around a perfectly regular melody. Score: 98.81%
